Instructions
Place a heavy skillet (preferably nonstick or cast iron), over medium-high heat until the pan is hot (about 30 seconds to one minute. Add 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil and tilt the skillet to coat the bottom with oil.
Add 1 cup leftover stuffing, break it apart with a spoon and press it into an even layer using a spatula so the bottom starts to crisp and brown. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the stuffing hash is fragrant and starts to brown.
Turn and flip the stuffing so more of it can come into contact with the pan and crisp up. Rearrange it into an even layer, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes. It should start to turn more golden and crusty after about 4-5 minutes.
Stir and flip the stuffing hash to crisp any parts that haven't had contact with the pan. It should take a total of 5-8 minutes. When the hash is golden and crusty, turn the heat to medium-low to keep it warm while frying the eggs.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Spray with vegetable spray. When the pan is hot, crack 1-2 large eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are mostly cooked. Sprinkle with a pinch salt. and pinch pepper . Flip the egg(s) and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute to completely cook the whites for an over-easy egg.
Mound the stuffing onto plates and top each with a fried egg. Sprinkle with pinch chopped parsley (optional) for a little color and any of the optional garnishes.
